Thursday Night Music Options 7/26/07

Frankel Plays Spaceland Tonight

In addition to the regular club gigs, there's a free outdoor show in Westwood and another one downtown...

Thursday's Pick:

Patrick Park / Afternoons / The Temporary Thing / Frankel @ Spaceland ($8) – This is the last night of Patrick Park’s month long Thursday night residency and probably my favorite lineup yet. Download PP’s “Nothing’s Wrong” and “Home For Now” Afternoons is a more psych-pop oriented offshoot of Irving (Steven, Brian and Brent are all in the band). I’m really curious to see them and Frankel (who get compared to Nilsson, Randy Newman and Richard Swift).

Also Appearing:

Sea Wolf / Midnight Movies @ Hammer Museum (Free) – This one starts at 8:00PM. Sea Wolf is Alex Church (former bass player for Irving). They’re getting ready to head out for some dates with label mates, the Silversun Pickups. Download Sea Wolf’s “You’re a Wolf” (my favorite Sea Wolf track) and “The Garden That You Planted”
